Trace Morocco’s dramatic transitions from Atlantic port to cedar forests, oases and the Sahara on a 10-day private loop from Casablanca. Expect imperial medinas, Aït Benhaddou’s mud‑brick citadel, camel treks at Erg Chebbi and nights under vast desert skies.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A pale dawn over Casablanca dissolves into a ribbon of highway as the tour departs the Atlantic coast and pushes inland toward the Atlas Mountains. Windows frame terracotta towns, cedar forests, and then—like a different planet—dunes that rise and fall with the wind's will; the Sahara dares the traveler to climb its lips for sunset.
